Art Bell Is Not Dying Of Liver Cancer [Rumor Put To Rest, Right?] (Update: Art's Friend Clarifies)
The Twittersphere is currently buzzing right now about the rumor that Art Bell is dying of liver cancer and has about 3 to 6 months to live. According to Horror Report, the message about him dying was originally posted on his Facebook page and then later removed. Cryptomundo followed-up and posted a "HealthWatch" article but it has now been deleted too.
An anonymous commenter on Horror Report posted a response saying that Art Bell has clarified his Facebook status and said that "it isn't him; it is his father-in-law." Since it's by an anonymous commenter, it's not entirely clear whether anyone is dying of liver cancer at all at this point.
News of the rumor has somewhat spread and words of condolences have already been posted on Twitter:
Talk about this rumor can be found on the following websites:

[Update: Art's friend, Whitley Shrieber, confirms that it's actually Art's father-in-law who was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. Although the rumor isn't true, it's still very sad news.]

ReplyDeleteif you had your doubts from the beginning, then wth did you run a page for it? confirm your sh*t, rather than just trying to be the one at the top of the results page or get the most hits. this is what irks me about "you guys." information highway is a noble pursuit. dis/misinformation highway is what we get mroe times than not.
DeleteWhy would you expect a Bigfoot site to rise above the level of a tabloid?
